bic, to have the Chinese taxed without
representation. At the same time it
would be absurd and promotive of un-
told harm in various ways, to have
common suffrage whereby all natlonali-
ties should vote for the same series of
candidates in any one ward. To over
come the difficulties impli, d in the
foregoing presentation of the case IS
the problem.
One way out of the difficulty has
been mooted privately, meeting with
considerable degree of concession to
its reasonableness and feasibility. 1t
is to divide the representation of the
city in municipal councils by nation
alities instead Of by districts. Give
Hawaiian subjects of all origins and
colors a certain number Of representa-
tives, American citizens their proper
tionate quota, say all other Caucasian
residents combined their share, and
Chinese theirs. Only keep national
politics out, and the different groups of
representatives might be expected to
legislate on municipal affairs without
any more development Of sectionalism
than is found in tine civic councils Of
any large city abroad. That even
Chinese would adapt themselves to
such an economy has some measure Of
proof in the interested and intelligent
part the Chinese members bear in the
affairs of the Board Of Representatives
of the Honolulu Fire Department AT
all events the idea is put forth for
at least discussion, the only means by
which any solution of the problem can
ever be obtained. The remaining
points raised by our Club House cor
respondents may be taken up at leisure.

REVISED STATUTES.

Says the Prescott Courier, of May 21st:
 "Having contracted to print and bind $500 copies of the Revised Stat utes of Arizona, we are having the printing done by the NIxon-Jones Printing Company, the binding, by Becktold & Co.,, St. Louis, who expect to have the books ready for shipment on or before June 18th, next. The Statutes will be well printel, and bound in calf The lot will fill car. The work has been copyrighted by the Territory of Arizona, and it Is made the duty of the Secretary there of to sell the books at S10 each, the money from this source to. go into the Territorial Treasury. We are satisfied that the people will think well of the new Statutes.
 Had the Courier stated the contract price for printing and binding, the people would have known what mar gin was allowed the Courier for its agency in the matter. Ten dollars a volume for $500 copies is S35,OOO, and allowing $2 per volume for printing and binding, $2S,OoO would be the residue, and in order to brook no op- position the work was copy-rlghted. At liberal estimate, 800 copies would supply the demand for Territorial of fcers, lawyers, citizens and secretaries of the respective States. A major part of that Eumber are given away, it therefore becomes a question how many of the $500 volumes will be sold and the number that will encum- ber the Territorial Secretary's office as IVoSSlo1eSS

WOMAN's TRIBUTE.

Schuyler COlf4x, who, in 1873, be- came tainted with Oakes Ames and others in the Credit Mobilier scandal, in consequence of which his reputa- ton suffered in public estimation by reason of the political howl raised against him at that tine-has been reproduced in bronze and placed upon a pedestal, in Indianapolis, by the Daughters of Rebekah, which, doubt less, was the correct thing to do, as a fitting rebuke to the tirade of abuse visited upon him at the time referred to.
 Inasmuch as twenty years have elapsed since the Credit Mobilier of Amerlca was organized as a banking institution. it is well to refresh public recollection that Its creation was to serve the purpose of banking scheme, and Its charter passed to the company which proposed to build the Union Pacific railroad.
 The first revelation of crookedness in relation to its management was brought about by lawsuit in Penn sylvania, in 1872, in which it appeared that the stock of the Union Pacific road had been distributed among prominent officials of the United States government, in order to gain favor ia congreSal action. The country was amazed, and an investigation was the result. The chief witness was Cakes Ames, whose main reliance in verifying his transactions in manag- ing the stock, was ''little memoran- dunn book" The exposure damaged the reputation of men in public life. Colfax suffered Tn consequence of hav- ing stock in his possession, which he claimed was purchased and paid for. The report recommended the expul- sion of one senator, but no action in his case was ever taken. Oakes Ames and James Brooks, of the House, were censured.

ONEROTS TAXATION,

There is law on the statute books of Missouri sulJecting to taxation stock in foreign corporations held by residents of the State, but it has re- mained a dead letter until very re- gently when the city of St. Joseph brought suit to collect taxes from a resident on the stock of the Texas Land and Cattle Company. The case was carried to the State Supreme Court and a decision was rendered in favor of the city.
 This has worked up stockholders in foreign corporations, all over the State, and particularly in St. Louis, where millions of dollars is invested in Western mines. The uneasiness occasioned among investors of that city was manifested almost immedi- ately upon the publication of the de- cisIon by the transferring of large blocks of stock to residents of other States. One holder of over 31,000 shares Tn the Granite Mountain Min ing Company, of Montana, sold his en- tire holdings, realizing $1,902,000 Others are selling out, transferring their stock or removing from the State. Some, however, entertain the hope that the law will not be en- forced, since the tax has never yet been imposed. At the present rate of taxation, the tax oa Granite Noun tain, at its market value, would be just equal to One-fourth the entire in come or $i 50 per share.
 So extortIonate a tax is no where else in the world imposed. The in justice of it is apparent since inning companies and other corporations are taxed in the State or Territory where their business is located, and 1n the case of the Granite Mountain, whose principal office is in St. Louis, they are assessed for any money hold in the bank, or other property in that city. The attempt to resurrect this iniquitous law is doing much injury to the business of the State, causing distrust in financial circles, driving capitalists from the State, and will bring no compensating benefits. A strong effort will be made at the next session of the State Legislature to have the law repealed.

At the AnacOnda copper smelters, Montana, labor-saving machinery has been introduced and the effectiveness of the works increased in many ways, while the cost of operation has really been leSsened. The works are now in the best possible condition to meet the most active and bitter competition. There is also a well-founded report that the percentage Of silver in the Anaconda ore increases with the depth. Altogether the Anaconda works are now in a favorable position to meet the attacks of competition.- s. F. Mining and Scientific Press.

The Hoof and Horn makes a howl because cattle are to be assessed in the several counties of the Territory at SIS to $15, which it claims are ex- Orbitant valuations. The Hoof and Horn no doubt feels in duty bound to make k4ck in the iaterest of the cat tiemen, but at the same time the fig ures above quoted are not considered excessive by disinterested persons. It IS safe to reckon that not more than three-fourths of the cattle in any of tine counties are given in for assess msnt, and no one will contend that the average stock cattle in the Terri tory arc not worth more than $15 per head. Taxation in Arizona is oppres- sive and an eqNitable division of the Bunden shouR -Sbe made among all classes of taxable property.

The report of the Dlrectcr of the mint estimates the production of pre- cious metals in the United States to have been in 1886: In gold, $35,OOO,- 900; silver, S51,OOO,OOO. The produc- tion of gold shows an increase over the prior year of S5,2OO,OOO. That of sil- yer is slightly less than Tn 1885. It is shown that the production of silver has largely increased since 1880, when it was S39,2O00O0. The years product of gold has approximated the maxi mum of the last seven years. In 1880 it was $36,OO0,OOO. Colorado contin- ues to rank first as a producer of pre- cious metals, the value of its gold and silver output last year having been S20,000,000. Montana comes next with a production of nearly $17,000,- 900, and California thlrd with S16,- 100000.

THOSE ALLESED JOURNALS.

THOSE ALLEGED JOURNALS
 The Tombstone Daily Prospector ayers that no journals of proceedings of the l4th Legislature were kept, and IS interested in knowing by what au. thority Secretary Bayard ordered the publication of the rough minutes un. der the name of journals. It makes the point that as no provision was made for keeping Journals none were intended to be kept. Whatever the intention was, it is certain that noth- ing bearing the Semblancs of a jour- nal ever came to the notice of the as- sembly. It, however, IS doubtless true that what purported to be min ,ates were written in pencil on fugi- tive sheets of foelscap rolled up and placed in a cupboard, and were there at the ti1se of adjournment of the legislature and since made to do duty as journals.
 The rule, which is imperative, is for the clerk to read at the commence ment of each daily sitting, in the presence of the respective houses, the journal of the preceding sitting, when errors, if any, are corrected, after which it is then considered as ap- proved by the assembly. This pro- ceeding cannot take place without the presence of a quorum. If, however, in consequence of such correction, the apparent determination of the legis- lature is changed, the alteration takes place nevertheless.
 In the Senate of the United States, it is provided by the first rule of that body, that the President having taken the chair, and a quorum being pres ent, the journal of the preceding day shall be read, to the end that any mis- takes may be corrected that shall Do made in the entries.
 In the House of Representatives of the United States it is made the duty of the Speaker, by the sixth rule, to examine and correct the journal be- fore it is read, and, by the iirst on the appearance of quorum, to cause the Journal of the preceding day to be read, and if any mistakes occur and are pointed out, upon motion, the cor Tection is made; but if an error is dis covered at subsequent time the correc- tion can only be made by vote of the assembly authorizing it after the read ing. The proceedings authorizing the correction must be stated and appear in the journal of that day, and the correction as well as the incidents re- lating to it, and read the following day for the information of the body that caused the correction to be made. If, however, any mistake or omission occurs in the journals, and is pointed out or discovered on the same day of its entry, it may be corrected either by the order of the House or by the clerk himself; but, if the mistake or emission is not discovered until after wards, It requires an order of the House, upon the report of a commit tee appointed to investigate the sub ject. In thus particularizing the mo- dus operandi of proceedings in regard to keeping and authenticating legis- latlve Journals we do so in order that the general reader may know what is requisite to constitute a journal under the law and practice of legislative as- semblies, and to show that detached minutes, on fugitive sheets of paper cannot be exhumed and embraced in book form and palmed of as journal of each days proceedings.
